The Magdalen Arms - Review - Iffley - Oxford - The Infatuation
"As much as it’s a local drinking den first, The Magdalen Arms is a pub for feasting very closely after. Which is mostly the case on the weekends when booking a table is essential if you want in on the Sunday roast. You’re equally as likely to see five-year-olds zooming around the burgundy room of this gastropub on Iffley Road, as you are couples holding hands across the table while sharing a slice of burnt basque cheesecake. The walls are adorned with mounted animal heads that have seen everything from wholesome Father’s Day lunches, to rowdy post-work pints, and everything in between. The food leans more European than the usual beige pub food, and it’s good without being amazing, with things like sizzling garlic prawns and heartier slow-cooked lamb shoulder on the daily changing menu. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak photo credit: Rianne Shlebak photo credit: Rianne Shlebak Pause Unmute RESERVE A TABLE" - Rianne Shlebak
